What is diversity and does it matter?

Diversity Matters at Mānoa is an opportunity to hear, see and participate in diversity issues within the context of a university setting . Activities include a student colloquia that showcases research on race, ethnicity and cultural differences, workshops that promote deliberative dialogue on public issues, Safe zone training by the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Intersex Student Services, a series of lectures that preserve endangered languages, a special guest lecturer explores Native Hawaiian health and healing issues, and a chance to gain insight of how technology revolutionized education for those with disabilities. Diversity at a university campus means honoring and respecting differences, eliminating discrimination and harassment and working for a society that is socially responsible and inclusive.
